I have never made a baby shower cake before, but I'm happy to say that now I have.
This cute little cake was made for a friend of mine, her mom's baby shower is today.
The cake is lemon with lemon buttercream (it smelled amazing, and the cake scraps were yummy). I got the cake recipe from Elisa Strauss' book, Confetti Cakes for Kids .
The blocks are made of rice krispie treats, covered in a double layer of fondant and decorated with more fondant. Of course, after I spent a good 2 or 3 hours on them, I found out that there does indeed exist an easier method . Oh well, maybe for next time.The flowers, borders, and letters are all buttercream. Because I fail at making flowers sideways, I piped them onto wax paper, froze them (they need to be in there a good twenty minutes to solidify), then stuck them on the cake with a dab more buttercream. Add some little leaves, and viola!
I'm off to make my sister's birthday cake now. All the cool kids have birthdays in August. :-)
